How old is your air conditioner? How efficiently has it worked so far this summer? These are just a couple of the questions you should ask yourself before summer ends. Now is the ideal time to consider a replacement, since they’ve gone through so much work over the past several months.
Of course, if you keep up with your annual AC maintenance appointments, this is less likely to happen. But regardless of whether you had that tune-up or not, no air conditioner can last forever. Even with proper care, efficiency drops significantly after 15 years, and repair needs begin to mount. If your system is reaching this point, upgrading your AC can save you from high monthly bills and ongoing frustrations. It’s best to consider replacement now, especially if the following 3 facts are true for your cooling system.
